I purchased an GS3 (9300) and it was unlocked. After running a software update (ICS) the phone now says it is network sim locked and i cannot do anything. Is there a way to revert back? I tried to run the *#74656 code but it does nothing. Any suggestions w/out having to root the phone?
Do a search the solution is in here somewhere.

You want to unlock your phone from the 3 Network? Not surprised
Have you tried other sim cards already?

Hey guys I have a factory unlocked phone which I bought from china, and I also have it rooted, my friend wants me to to update to JB but I'm not sure if I have to unroot my phone to get the update and also if I unroot it will I loose my factory unlock? I'm using it in the United States right now. With carrier t-mobile.. I've also seen other posts about being slow after updating if it's international so what should I do?

Hello all, I recently got my optimus g yesterday and have rooted and unlocked the phone. I am using the phone on tmobile network and was wondering if there is a method of updating to 4.1.2 manually? and also I flashed the att band update and wifi no longer will connect. is there any way to downgrade back to ics band? I've search briefly around in the forums and have not found anything.

Hi,
I have a LG P769 from TMobile, how can I use this phone without a tmobile sim card but from another company like my brazilian sim card?
Can I flash other rom instead of p769? Will it work?
I was reading this topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40691384&postcount=7
here says to unlock bootloader with a P765 first. So, can I stay with this rom?
Thank you.
If it is a prepaid phone the alternative SIM may work. Try putting it in. See what happens. You don't need to unlock the boot loader to unlock SIM. Worst case scenario if it asks for an unlock code, power off the device then either contact T-Mobile if there isn't a contract on the phone to get an unlock code or look up SIM unlock online to get unlocking service.

Thank you for the answer, I input the network unlock code and the phone works with any carrier now.
But how can I remove all the tmobile bloatware this phone has? Can I change it to a international unbranded phone?
Check out the v21b (Canada version) wind mobile. It's a nice clean Rom. So much better than the T-Mobile jelly bean

Root it and download a root unistaller to get rid of the bloatware.

How do I flash this rom? My phone is a p769 10g. Is it easy?
Flash the kdz file or the cwm rooted file in the other post called nandroid backup files in the general area.
